Guest guest Posted August 8, 2000 Report Share Posted August 8, 2000 Hi , Hair loss is a common problem among body-builders who inject testosterone and other steroids, so it would be safe to assume the same problem can occur at more modest doses as in normal hormone replacement. I think the best solution, if one is taking testosterone only and not other synthetic steroids, is to use an alpha-reductase inhibitor like finasteride (Proscar, Propecia) to reduce the conversion of T to DHT. Some say Saw Palmetto also works for hair loss by the same mechanism, though there is no clinical research to verify it. It may be that you are genetically prone to male pattern baldness (MPB) but did not know it because your test levels were depressed. There is really only one way to know if your current hair loss is due to MBP, and that is by the pattern in which it is falling out. You know what male pattern baldness looks like... is your hair falling out in that kind of pattern? The pattern is shaped something like a horseshoe with receding hair line above each temple and often includes a bald spot at the back of the head. I take 1.25 mg of finasteride daily to keep DHT levels in check. I also shampoo with Nizoral 2% shampoo (prescription only), which contains ketoconazole, which acts as an anti-androgen in the scalp. Jack Armstrong sells these items at a reasonable price w/o a script. He also sells testosterone, steroids and other things, like pure sildenafil citrate (Viagra) powder.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2000 Report Share Posted August 29, 2000 Hello Gordon I recieve the longevity list and am possibly interested in buying from Jack Armstrong. I wonder is this legal to buy without a script? Will you give me his email address, or give him mine? I appreciate your help. I really want to try HGH. I live in a rural area and have not found a doctor who will prescribe it. Mexico is, sadly, too far for me to travel. If Jack can obtain HGH legally for me I would be very happy. Thanks for your advice about balding...I also use Nizoral shampoo and it seems to help.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2000 Report Share Posted August 29, 2000 Hello andy. You'll need to talk to Jack about the legalities of his business, but I believe it is he who is taking the main legal risk in selling prescription shampoos and other items that would normally require a prescription. Nizoral 2% is not a prescription shampoo in many countries but it seems the USA is a near police-state. As a child I was proud to learn that I lived in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. Then as an adult I was saddened by the reality that I can hardly wash my own hair without Uncle Sam's permission. Write to Jack at jack_armstrong@... -gts Balding > > > > > Gordon, > > > Is there a relationship with testosterone replacment therapy and > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Hi there - Can anyone tell me any experience or success they have seen with taking nickel out of the scalp with Homeographics for balding? And does this require removing all metals too from the teeth and treating all the sockets of metal residue,too? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
